John Deere M952i

Rinse and dilute machine from the comfort of the tractor cab with AutoDilute

Continuous dilution reduces the tank-mix concentration while spraying out waste water

Convenient in-cab control saves valuable time

John Deere's award-winning multi-cycle dilution system for controlled residue disposal is an equipment option on the M900i Sprayer.

NOTE: Always refer to the chemical package and read the safety requirements when diluting or rinsing a sprayer.

AutoDilute enables operators to dilute the sprayer without leaving the cab. Operators save valuable time since there is no longer a need to walk to sprayed crop to reposition sprayer valves. The time savings from AutoDilute helps prepare the machine faster for the next application. AutoDilute meets the environmental legislation in countries where dilution of the remaining crop protection chemical in the machine is a legal requirement. (Please refer to local legal requirements.)

The AutoDilute integrated multi-cycle dilution system features:

• AutoDilute - easy to operate less risk on mistakes
• AutoDilute controlled dilution factor using automatic stepwise residue dilution
• Continuous dilution fast flush between jobs
• Continuous dilution can be combined with stepwise dilution first followed by continuous dilution
• Efficient rinse water usage, amount of rinse water can be programmed to the needs
• Optimum dilution - using automated steps, AutoDilute stepwise dilution is visible in each step
• Fast dilution - select continuous dilution, AutoDilute dilution is not visible in the display while spraying the remaining liquid out of the tank

Intelligence provides premium precision and boosts productivity in a smarter way. John Deere’s M900i Trailed Sprayers can be configured with intelligent features and integrated solutions that make spraying operations faster, easier, and more accurate.

Intelligent solutions support accuracy

With intelligence using flow and pressure sensor on board, the sprayer can automatically select the most accurate rate control for the job, or provide real-time information on the actual droplet size, even send a warning whenever accuracy tends to go out of range.

John Deere BoomGuard holds the boom gently but firmly during transport, minimizes boom movements in vertical or horizontal direction to prevent yaw when spraying, smart solutions to optimize spray accuracy.

M900i Trailed Sprayers have optional automatic filling and AutoDilute, additionally the i-package is available with the M900i. All offer additional comfort and automation while saving time and valuable input costs.

With the M900i Trailed Sprayer, ISOBUS control and the GreenStar™ 2630, John Deere’s innovative FarmSight™ solutions overarch the crop protection process with a level of process information utilization. With a personal computer and the appropriate software, operators can easily set up, track, and document the crop protection process. Once data is transferred to the machine, the operator can quickly and easily perform sprayer functions including filling, variable rate spraying, and documentation. In the field, the sprayer makes all the adjustments in real-time. This leaves operators free to focus on spray quality and productivity.

M900i benefits and features:

• John Deere Automatic Section Control saves costs and turns boom sections on and off automatically whenever the operator leaves or enters a predefined area.
• Guidance solutions, such as Parallel Tracking™ or AutoTrac™ reduce overlap and skips save on input cost
• Intelligent sprayer features provide spray accuracy and offer premium precision

Additionally, with the M900i Trailed Sprayer:

• BoomTrac™ improves spray quality by automatically controlling boom tilt and height on various fields, as well as during headland turns. It will position the boom where needed.
• GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display offers integrated control, provides spray to map (prescription mapping) solutions, and documentation capabilities.

Keep cost under control: intelligent solutions reduce input cost and enabling increase productivity. Automatic section control is a solution to optimize crop protection quality and extend the available spray window. BoomTrac™, in-cab nozzle control, and light-emitting diode (LED) work lights are additional solutions offered for the M900i Trailed Sprayers.

Intelligent solutions, simply ideal

Integrated solutions on the M900i, collectively cooperate to optimize crop protection. Automatic section control or SprayerPro™ will switch the sections automatically in predefined areas saving valuable input cost.

• Automatic section control available for M900i

On the M900i Trailed Sprayers, BoomTrac™ controls adjust boom tilt and boom height to optimize spray boom position in various field circumstances. In-cab nozzle control switches are convenient for switching nozzles in between jobs or to meet drift classification at field boundaries. Powerful LED lights provide the visibility you need to get the job done after dark.

• BoomTrac, in-cab nozzle control, and LED working lights are all performance boosters on M900i

The round-shaped polyethylene tank is fully cradled by the frame and gives the machine a low center of gravity; this comes together with the double-linked ProRoad axle suspension providing stability needed on the road and in the field.

The required liquid content can be easily programmed to the actual needs. Whenever filling with the sprayer pumps, a digital tank-level sensor will accurately measure all the liquid entering into the tank. Once the required volume is reached, the automatic filling process stops, and if needed warns the operator with a horn that filling is ready. At the same time the system automatically redirects pump flow into the tank for additional mixing.  A digital tank-level sensor guards the total tank content; the nominal volume filling valve will close automatically to prevent overflow. Automatic filling options include automatic agitation control, AutoDilute stepwise or continuous dilution, and a digital tank-level sensor for accurate readout and system control.

• Automatic filling — always the right amount for the job, reduces leftover after spraying
• Programmable tank volume
• Automatic filling stop at tank max volume prevents overflow
• Reduce foaming, better emptying — agitation control automatic on/off, or based on tank level
• AutoDilute stepwise or continuous dilution — in-cab controlled dilution saves valuable time
• Audible warning — alerts  operator once tank level is reached or filling is stopped (optional)
• 2 x 280 L/min (2 x 74 gal./min) pump flow connected in for faster filling, disconnected in spraying mode
